    Dear Mr. Geary,

    Many thanks for the report from Pennsylvania. Up until the night of July 23, 1956, when you heard us, we had been conducting nightly equipment tests. We aren't, as yet, on a regular sohedual. When we do get on, we will be a 5000 watt, daytime, directional.

    Our antenna system consists of two, 154 foot towers, spaced 103 feet and phased 130 degrees. This gives us a pattern to the

    NW along our tower line. N30°W true.

    The transmitter, a BC 5E,and associated equipment,is made by

    Dear Kermit:

    This is to confirm your reception of KMCD on Friday morning, January 24, 1964, from 5:16:30 am cst to 5:30 am; at which time we were conducting a frequency test with a commercial monitoring company near Kansas City.

    Thank you for your very fine report on your reception of our station. It gives us great pleasure in knowing we are reaching so far out under skip conditions; our normal ground wave coverage is, of course, much less!

    Thank you for the comment on our efficiency; it is wished that this was the case. However, our system is not as efficient as we would like it, and as a result we are contemplating a com- plete new transmitting facility.

    Our present transmitting facility consists off a Collins 300-J transmitter driving a shunt -fed 300 foot guyed tower. The ground system consists of about 120 radials 180' long, plus another 50 about 50' long.

    Again Kermit, thank you for the very fine report: please find enclosed a coverage map showing our 0.5 my/m. contour.

    Oelwein is a town of aprroximately 8000 population located i the northeast part of Iowa, Te state where the "Tall Corn Grows°, KOEL first went on the air in June of 1950 on a frequency of 950 KC, and power of 500 watts and on the air from 5:30 A.M. to 10:30 P, M, dally, We are affiliated with the Iowa Talicorn Network, with John. E, Pearson Co, as National Representative,

    The KOEL antenna system consists of a three tower directional arrgy,most of the energy being directed in a northerly direction. This fact places KOEL in a disadvantageous position in a DX broadcast, A minor lobe facing southwest and one facing southeast gives us some radiation in these directions,

    We remet both the delay in answering the letters and also the fact that we have not the time to answer each letter seperatlyo We are building a new studio and office building and anticipate installing a new 1000 watt transmitter in the very near future,

    Winner of NAB 1988 Crystal Award for Excellence in Community Service

    I am happy to confirm your reception of the WMT first -ever DX -TEST which aired midnight-1AM Central Time on January 31, 1993.

    We've received letters from (so far) Alberta and Ontario, Canada from Cape Cod, MA....near Atlanta, GA...from TENN, OK, S.C. and N.C., PA, IN, ILL, KY, VA, MO, CO and lots of others. Many of these states were heard from on our National In -WATS during the hour of the Test; with meaningful apologies to our friends in Canada ---I forgot that line works only in the lower 48.

    WMT operates 24 hours a day with 5 -thousand watts, non -directional during daytime with 3 -tower array at night. Our DA has nulls at 170 -degrees to protect WREC, Memphis as well as nulls at 70 -degrees to protect Montreal. The night signal tends to increase mostly in the west-southwest direction. Daytime groundwave reception is possible with decent radio and antenna from as far as southern Indiana. Splatter from 590 -WOW Omaha and 610-WDAF, Kansas City hurt reception possibilities to the west and southwest during daytime. We've received reception reports in the recent past from Finland, Sweden...and, we've heard from New Zealand. WMT operates using C-Quam AM Stereo; a Harris MW -5 trans- mitter and is locally programmed from studios on the northeast side of Cedar Rapids...the transmitter -antenna site is about 5 miles northeast of the studios, located northeast of Marion, Iowa.

    WMT's ratings and revenue are regional market pacesetters; we've been news -weather -agribusiness information intensive with adult/MOR music now and then. Don DeFore and Fran Allison got their beginnings here when WMT's facilities were located in the still -beautiful Paramount Theatre building downtown Cedar Rapids...we were one of the first studios -on - springs facilities, with our roots going back to 1922 when we were WJAM. In the late 1920's, the station moved to Waterloo and became WMT "Waterloo Morning Tribune" and was brought back to Cedar Rapids in the mid 1930's.

    That hour of DX -testing was magical to me and I thank you for your response and participation. I hope we can do it again!

    Please accept this letter as official verification of your reception of KWCR - 250 watts - 1450 kilocycles - on Sunday morning, November 13, 1949 from 12:57 a.m. to 1:43 a.m. Central Standard Time.

    The "efficient transmitting equipment" that you mention in your report is a Collins 300G manufactured right here in Cedar Rapids. most of the associated studio and remote eq- uipment used here at KWCR is also from Collins. We are all very well pleased with it, and feel that it is doing a fine job for us.

    The DX reports received here on the DX program would seem to indicate that at least 5 other stations were on at time of our broadcast on 1450kcs. WWDC, WTBO, WNOE, KLmX, and WLAY were all giving KWCR a bad time. We are planning another DX for the 3rd Monday morning in January when we hope for a more or less clear channel. At that time we would much appreciate another report from you. Watch the NRC and NNRC bulletins for the exact time of this forthcom- ing special.

    Looking forward to hearing from you again, we are,

    Dear Sir

    We are happy to receive the report of your reception of our station. As you know we are a new station having gone into operation on July 7. Consequently with the rush of detail© involved in removing the bugs from new equipment and completing the numerous projects necessary to the smooth operation of a radio station, we have not been able to pay as close attention to DX reports as we would like. It is for this reason that we have not answered your letter sooner. This situation has now been rectified.

    }e always appreciate reports concerning our signal from both local and DX listners. It is from an accumulation of such reports that we obtain the necessary information to make corrections and improvements.

    We are using Gates equipment through out. The transmitter, a Gates 2500, delivers 250 watts to a single 285 foot Wincharger Tower.

    Checking the program logged by you against our program log, and finding it correct, we are pleased to verify your reception of the morning of July 4, 1946 between the hours of 1 2E and 1 49 AM C.S.T.

    Dear Mr. Geary:

    Thank you very much for responding to the January 9, 1995 "DX" test WSUI conducted for the International Radio Club of America. This letter and the accompanying card, verifys your reception of WSUI-AM 910 in Walnutport, PA at 12:00 Midnight CST January 9, 1995.

    The response to our half-hour test was very gratifying, with phone calls and letters from across the United States and Canada. WSUI conducted the test with its daytime "non - directional" signal and usual full-time power of 5kw. Responses were received from all directions, from Seattle in the west, Huntsville, AL in the south, North Carolina in the east and Alberta and Manitoba provinces to the north.

    Normally, WSUI operates with a directional, three -tower array at night, with the signal being sent directly to the north of Iowa City. This may account for our usual winter reception reports received from Finland, Sweden and Norway.

    WSUI is the oldest U.S. radio station operating west of the Mississippi River, with a sign -on date of January, 1919. Only WHA, Madison, is older among non-commercial stations. As you can tell, the station broadcasts primarily news and information programming, mostly from National Public Radio. Our sister station, KSUI-FM, broadcasts exclusively classical music.

    I hope you enjoy the enclosed Program Guide. I wish I could send you something more colorful, but we're out of bumper stickers and we still haven't been able to offer our listeners refrigerator magnets or other fun memorabilia (maybe one of these days). At any rate, enclosed also is a "DX" postcard, complete with a 19th century engraving of the "Old Capitol," the University's first building and still the most beautiful structure on campus.
